Me: Yes.
Joe: Are you feeling ok?
Me: What do you mean?
Joe: Earlier, you clarified something you had said before that you thought might hurt my feelings.
Me: Did it.
Joe: No, but that’s not the point, you cared if it did. That seemed unusual for you so I thought I’d check that there wasn’t something wrong.

WHAT’S HAPPENING TO ME.
